SEARED FISH WITH BEET SALSA



Seared Fish With Beet Salsa image

I made this with cod, but you can also use a firmer fish, which you can grill or broil as well as sear and bake, as I do in this recipe. Cut the beets and apple very small - about 1/8 inch dice. The sweet crunch of the apple contributes texture and juice to the tangy/pungent salsa, which is delicious with all sorts of foods, not just fish. If you're vegetarian or vegan, try it with grains; it's especially nice with red quinoa.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium or 4 small beets, preferably a mix of golden, Chioggia and red, roasted, peeled and cut in very small dice (smaller than 1/4 inch) (about 1 cup very small dice)
2 to 3 serrano or jalapeño chiles, minced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (more to taste)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (more to taste)
2 tablespoons minced shallot or chives (optional)
1/2 small tart apple, cored and cut in very small dice (smaller than 1/4 inch)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets (or other light-fleshed fish of your choice, like halibut or tilapia
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon sunflower oil, grapeseed oil or extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Stir together, taste and adjust salt. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the oil. Tilt the pan to film the bottom. Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
  • Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.
